Steps:
- Mix together flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, espresso powder, cocoa (use a good cocoa powder; I used King Arthur Dark Cocoa) and baking powder.
- In another bowl mix together zucchini, applesauce, sugar and vanilla. Stir well into the dry mixture.
- Fill muffin lined tins 3/4 full with mixture and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Tips:
- Use ripe zucchini. The riper the zucchini, the more flavor it will have. You can use a box grater or a food processor to shred the zucchini.
- Don't peel the zucchini. The skin of the zucchini is packed with nutrients, so don't peel it off. Just wash it well and grate it.
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder. Sweetened cocoa powder will make your muffins too sweet. You can find unsweetened cocoa powder in the baking aisle of your grocery store.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help them rise and give them a tender crumb.
- Let the muffins cool before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

These no-fat chocolate zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're also a great snack or dessert.
